TERMS OF USE: Ubiquiti radio devices must be professionally installed. Shielded Ethernet cable and earth grounding must be used as conditions of product warranty. TOUGHCable is designed for outdoor installations. It is the professional installers responsibility to follow local country regulations, including operation within legal frequency channels, output power, and Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) requirements.
Installation Requirements
Shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling with drain wire should be used for all wired Ethernet connections and should be grounded through the AC ground of the PoE.
We recommend that you protect your networks from harmful outdoor environments and destructive ESD events with industrialgrade, shielded Ethernet cable from Ubiquiti Networks. For more details, visit www.ubnt.com/toughcable
Surge protection should be used for all outdoor installations. We recommend that you use two Ethernet Surge Protectors, model ETHSP, one near the NanoStation and the other at the entry point to the building. The ETHSP will absorb power surges and safely discharge them into the ground.

Power The Power LED will light green when the device is connected to a power source.
LAN1 Main Ethernet The LED will light steady green when an active Ethernet connection is made to the Main/LAN port and flash when there is activity.
LAN2 Secondary Ethernet (NanoStation M2/M3/M5 only) The LED will light steady green when an active Ethernet connection is made to the Secondary port and flash when there is activity.
Signal In airOS, you can modify the wireless signal strength threshold values for each LED on the Advanced tab under Signal LED Thresholds. The default values are shown below:
LED will light red when the wireless signal strength is above 94 dBm.
LED will light amber when the wireless signal strength is above 80 dBm.
LED will light green when the wireless signal strength is above 73 dBm.
LED will light green when the wireless signal strength is above 65 dBm.
Ports

Main/LAN 10/100 Ethernet port used to connect the power and should be connected to the LAN and DHCP server.
Secondary (NanoStationM2/M3/M5 only) 10/100 Ethernet port used for bridging and supports softwareconfigurable PoE passthrough.
Note: In order to use PoE passthrough on the Secondary port, a 24V, 1A PoE adapter is required.
Reset Button To reset to factory defaults, press and hold the Reset button for more than 10 seconds while the NanoStation is poweredon. Alternatively, a remote reset button is located on the bottom of the PoE Adapter.

Hardware Installation1. Press the Port Cover Release Button located on the back of
the NanoStation and slide the cover off.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Main/LAN port.
3. Replace the port cover.
4. Position the NanoStation at the desired location on a pole and insert a Cable Tie into the slot of the Mounting Bracket.
5. Align the front of the NanoStation toward the other end of the wireless link. Then tighten the Cable Tie around thepole.
Note: For the NanoStationM2/M3/M5, two Cable Ties are provided. Fasten the second Cable Tie to the other mounting bracket for added security.
Connecting Power
Connect the power using one of the following options:
Using the included Gigabit PoE Adapter: Go to Connecting to the PoE Adapter.
Using a separate PoE switch: Connect the Ethernet cable from the devices Ethernet port to a PoEenabled Ethernet port on the switch.
WARNING: The switch port must comply with the power specifications listed in the Specifications section of this Quick Start Guide.
Connecting to the PoE Adapter1. Connect the Ethernet cable from the device to the POE
port of the PoE Adapter.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable from your LAN to the LAN port of the PoE Adapter.
3. Connect the Power Cord to the adapters power port. Connect the other end of the Power Cord to a power outlet.
Mounting the PoE Adapter (Optional)1. Remove the PoE Mounting Bracket from the adapter, place
the bracket at the desired location, and mark the two holes.
2. Predrill the holes if necessary, and secure the bracket using two fasteners (not included).
3. Align the adapters slots with the tabs of the PoE Mounting Bracket, and then slide the adapterdown.
Accessing airOSConnect to the airOS Configuration Interface.
1. Make sure that your host system is connected via Ethernet to the NanoStation.
2. Configure the Ethernet adapter on your host system with a static IP address on the 192.168.1.x subnet.
3. Launch your web browser. Type https://192.168.1.20 in the address field. Press enter (PC) or return (Mac).
https://192.168.1.20
4. The login screen will appear. Enter ubnt in the Username and Password fields. Select your Country and Language. You must agree to the Terms of Use to use the product. Click Login.
Note: The Country setting for U.S. product versions is restricted to a choice of Canada, Puerto Rico, or the U.S. to ensure compliance with FCC/IC regulations.
The airOS Configuration Interface will appear, allowing you to customize your settings as needed. For additional details on the airOS Configuration Interface, refer to the User Guide available at www.ubnt.com/download/airmax
You can also manage your device using the Ubiquiti Network Management System. Setup using the UNMS app requires the UInstaller, sold separately.
